After the LTO inadvertently leaked out the engine specifications of the all-new 2024 Land Cruiser Prado for the Philippine market, more information regarding the 7-seater luxury SUV is making its way onto the internet.
First up, there’s now an official launch date: June 7. The Land Cruiser Prado will be officially made available for both customer reservations and retail sale across the entire Toyota dealership network on that date.
Next up, we have the variants. As outed by its homologation papers, there’s only one variant and that’s the Land Cruiser Prado 2.4 Turbo. Inferred by the LTO documents, it will not come with any form of electric assist (there’s no EVIDA benefit attached to the homologation document). This means the T24A-FTS 4-cylinder makes 281 horsepower and 430 Nm of torque. This is mated to an 8-speed automatic driving a 4x4 system with locking differentials.
Like its bigger brother, the Land Cruiser 300, expect a simplified color palette of the Land Cruiser Prado. From four colors in the outgoing model, only three will be made available: Platinum White Pearl Mica, Attitude Black Mica, and Avant-Garde Bronze Metallic. The only interior color is black.
Finally, we have the price. The 2024 Land Cruiser Prado will be sold for exactly P 4,800,000—a P 1,135,000 jump from the outgoing Land Cruiser Prado 4.0 V6.
No line-by-line spec details are available yet, but given the hefty price increase, expect the all-new Land Cruiser Prado to get a substantial bump in standard features too. The likely candidates include Toyota Safety Sense. Previously, it was already confirmed that the local model will ride on standard 20-inch wheels with 265/60R20 tires.
Are you excited for the all-new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado?
Super expensive now! Anyway, will it come with the cool retro circular headlights?

ReplyDeleteScalpers and resellers are gonna hoard it and sell it at 5.6 Million Pesos or more
Damn. I knew they will raise the Prado's srp but plus 1m is a little too much.
ReplyDeleteSame. I was expecting (hoping, really) that it'd be priced between 4-4.5M
DeleteYeah, would have liked to buy it if it was only like a 500k increase from the price of the gas version but this seems too expensive for my blood.
Deletethe arrogant king panda will be hoarding those and adding 1-2M
ReplyDelete100%
DeleteYeah. He’s a scalper.
DeleteLmao! Then be selling it "cheapest in the market!" "Dun ka nalang sa casa boss kung may mabibili ka naman sa srp" knowing vehicles like land cruisers are nowhere to be found in casa because of hoarders/gray markets like them.
DeletePrado is a difficult product to price by Toyota PH since it does not qualify for JPEPA unlike the 300-series and the old 4.0 Prado. Now the Prado is in an awkward spot where if they introduced higher trims of it (like a diesel or hybrid), the price will be similar or exceeding the LC300.
ReplyDeletePag available na po ang Diesel Variant 2.8 1GD-FTV with 221ps and 550nm. The price is still retained. Wala po babaguhin sa presyo. Same lang po with the gasoline variant.
ReplyDeleteIs this wishful thinking or is this reliable info?
DeleteThe diesel Prado overseas only comes with the 204ps 500nm tune of the engine.
DeleteIt would have benefited consumers if there's a diesel J250 (or even the hybrid diesel/gas) so that it could slot in at the 5m price point just below the cheaper LC300. This gas J250 then should've been no more than 4.3m at launch.

DeleteIt's due to the JPEPA which made the price of the all new Prado at 4.8M. The JPEPA states that vehicles with at least 3001 cc engine displacement will be exempted from import duty/tax. The all new Prado has a turbocharged 2.4L (2,393 cc) gas engine and the 2.8L diesel engine. The JPEPA is the reason why the old Prado's gas engined variant is significantly cheaper than the diesel engine variant as the gas engine is a 4.0L (3,956 cc) V6 while the 2 diesel engines are the old 3.0L (2,982 cc) D-4D and the current 2.8L (2,755 cc) D-4D.
ReplyDeleteWith PBBM signing EO 12 recently which exempts hybrids and plug in hybrids manufactured outside of the ASEAN region from import duties/taxes, the 2.4L turbocharged hybrid engine of the all new Prado making 330 ps and 630 Nm of torque is now viable to be introduced by Toyota Motor Philippines.
Better buy a BAIC B80 with that kind of pricing
ReplyDeleteBAIC = HEADACHE
DeleteHahaha "Better buy a BAIC B80 with that kind of pricing" you're a joke. Those people buying LC300 and Prado wala yang paki sa price, think first before you comment.
DeleteKung mayaman ka talaga, you won't go down the line as low as BAIC.
DeleteNi hindi nga natin alam saan ang Showrooms ng BAIC. Maniwala pa ko kung Jetour T2 na lang sana yung nacompare. Si DJ Chacha nga proud owner ng Jetour T2 after selling their 2010-2013 Toyota Hilux.
ReplyDeleteHard decision: Bronco vs Prado 250
ReplyDeleteI honestly think this is a no brainer. Of course, it should be Prado over Bronco.
DeleteSure JPEPA and tax laws are making things pricier and all but
ReplyDeleteThanks to JPEPA and whatever tax laws, we have to pay for a car that costs 50% more (compared to other markets) with daily wages that are bottom 10% in the world. Good job politicos, clearly the system is just working for you.
